Just need some knobs and to intonate. I actually threw in some spare pickups that I found around the house and not the pickups that I ordered, I am still waiting on those. But I'm actually kind of digging the pickups that I threw into it? Squier Fat Telecaster 'humbucker' bridge pickup, and a '51 Nocaster neck pickup. 4 way switching. I have the pickups hiked up pretty high to get the output to be more what I am akin to. Still not quite there compared to my EGCs, but still plays well with my board from the 5 minutes I spent playing through it. The 4 way switching is sweet. I sawed off the 22nd fret on the neck. Kinda goofy, but whatever, I don't like necks that hang over. Just need to find a solid set of knobs.
The finish is nice and thin, I put a few small dents in it here and there accidentally while working on it, but it's pretty cool to see dark masonite beneath and not a lighter wood.
